SEC EDGAR Filings Feed: New Filings by Form, Ticker or CIK

Get new SEC filings from official EDGAR sources, filtered to the forms and companies you care about. Schedule it daily in new since last run mode and each run delivers only filings you have not seen.

What you get

• Market-wide mode. Reads the official EDGAR daily form index, one file per business day. Filter by form type (8-K, 10-K, 10-Q, 4, S-1, 424B2, SC 13D, D, 13F-HR, ...) and by company name.
• Company mode. Give tickers or CIKs and it reads each company's live submissions feed on data.sec.gov, so same-day filings show up as soon as the SEC publishes them.
• 8-K items decoded. With Add filing details, each 8-K carries its item codes with plain-English descriptions (for example 2.02 Results of Operations and Financial Condition, 5.02 Departure or Election of Directors or Officers), plus acceptance time, report date and a link to the primary document.
• Clean records. Accession number, CIK, company name, tickers, form type, filing date, links to the filing index and main document.
• New since last run. Per State key history, so a daily schedule pays only for new filings.

Example uses

• Investor relations and event-driven traders: get every new 8-K for a watchlist of tickers each morning, with item codes (earnings 2.02, executive changes 5.02, M&A 1.01/2.01) decoded.
• Deal and BD teams: watch market-wide S-1, 424B, SC 13D and Form D filings to spot IPOs, activists and private raises.
• Compliance and research: archive all 10-K/10-Q filings of a peer group with links to the primary documents.
• AI agents: ask "which S&P companies filed an 8-K item 5.02 yesterday?" through the Apify API or MCP server.

Quick start

Every run also writes a summary (window covered, days of EDGAR index read, counts) to the OUTPUT record.

Timing you should know about

• The market-wide daily index is published nightly (about 10 pm ET), so market-wide mode returns filings through the previous business day. Weekends and holidays have no index and are skipped.
• For same-day filings of specific companies, use tickers or CIKs (company mode).

Data source and fair access

• Sources: SEC EDGAR daily index (sec.gov/Archives/edgar/daily-index), the data.sec.gov submissions API and sec.gov/files/company_tickers.json. The SEC states that EDGAR public filing content is free to access and reuse (SEC FAQ).
• The Actor follows the SEC's fair access rules: a declared User-Agent, a request rate well under the 10 per second limit (about 6), and backoff on errors.
• This Actor is not affiliated with or endorsed by the SEC. Filing data is provided as published; it is not investment advice.

Pricing

Pay per event (Apify takes care of billing; you only pay for what is delivered):

Event	Price	Charged
apify-actor-start	$0.005	once per run
filing-record	$0.003	per filing delivered
filing-enriched	$0.004	extra per filing enriched with acceptance time, 8-K items and document link (only when includeFilingDetails is on)

A default test run (50 filings) costs about $0.155. Watching 20 tickers daily (~5 new filings/day, enriched) costs about $0.04/day. maxItems and Apify's max cost per run cap your spend; the Actor stops delivering when your budget is reached, so you are never charged for more than you set. No separate platform-usage charges: compute is included in the event prices.

FAQ

Do I need an SEC API key? No. EDGAR is public; the Actor sends a declared User-Agent and stays under the SEC rate limit.

How do I get only new filings every day? Create a Schedule with mode: sinceLastRun and a unique stateKey. Each run delivers only filings not delivered before for that key.

Why are today's filings missing in market-wide mode? The daily index is published nightly. Use tickers or ciks (company mode) for same-day filings.

Can I export to Google Sheets, Slack or a webhook? Yes, use Apify integrations on the dataset, or call the Actor from Make, Zapier, n8n or the API.
